A system of low pressure moving west across the Atlantic has a high chance of become a tropical depression or storm this week.

The National Hurricane Center is predicting Invest 97L could become a tropical depression or tropical storm as early as later this morning, Aug. 11.

As the Invest 96-L disturbance decreases in its chances of tropical development, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is now monitoring a new tropical wave emerging off the western coast of Africa for the possibility of development.
